Vice President Joe Biden made a joke today at the memorial service for
slain MIT police officer Sean Collier:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/K-bPdVgCsKo

"One of my favorite poets is Seamus Heaney," said Biden, who is of Irish
descent. "I know the congressman thinks I always quote Irish poets
because I'm Irish. That's not the reason I do it. I quote Irish poets
because they're the best poets and that's the reason why," Biden
deadpanned. "And the Collier family knows that, right?"

Biden continued, "But all kidding aside..."

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is attempting to outdo Secretary of State
John Kerry to become the world champion of botched jokes. BuzzFeed.com's
Andrew Kaczynski has video from a Hagel speech at the University of
Nebraska in which he responds to a question from "an Indian
man"--presumably meaning a man from India, or of Indian descent--by
quipping: "You're not a member of the Taliban, are you?"

Hagel "had previously answered a question on Afghanistan and negotiating
with the Taliban before the exchange," Kaczynski notes. The Pentagon put
out a damage-control statement: "Absolutely no slight toward any
individual in the audience was intended. That's the last thing the
Secretary would do under any circumstance, in this or any other setting.
He didn't know who would be called next to pose a question."

There may be some truth to the stereotype that Republicans are stupid and
insensitive.

President Obama made an "embarrassing historical error during his
international press conference with French President Francois Hollande,"
writes the Daily Caller's Neil Munro:

Obama's error came when he misnamed Alexis de Tocqueville, a
clear-eyed Frenchman who explained the subtle miracle of American
culture and democracy in the 1830s. His book is a classic, partly
because his insights about Americans' social equality and civic
society have become commonplace among centrists and conservatives.

But Obama called him "Alex" in front of the French and U.S. press,
and while facing banks of TV cameras.

Munro's criticism seems to us completely wrongheaded. What in the world is
wrong with a president's being familiar with Tocqueville?

I really can't disagree with that statement. I've known many
immigrants, and whether you are a legal immigrant or not, after spending
enough time in America you become "American." You may not be a citizen,
but you are part of our collective society. Contrast this with
countries like Saudi Arabia, where migrants are essentially slaves. The
second-class status of undocumented immigrants in the USA is not the
same as slavery.

But I will concede that many undocumented immigrants come here just to
find jobs, which is not the same as emigrating to pursue the "American
dream." I've also known immigrants (mostly Mexicans) who came here just
to earn dollars to remit back home. They have no desire to learn
English, I've actually heard them insult American music, and they refuse
to eat anything that isn't wrapped in a tortilla. I suppose this is
their right, but it shows they aren't interested in assimilating into
American society. When I visit Mexico I patronize local bars, actually
enjoy listening to Mexican music, conversing in bad Spanish, and so on.
And I never expect the Mexican "government" to grant me permanent
residency.
